Neck Shot, from ‘Mia-Living Life Trying’

Mia is 25 years old. She is a drug addict and a prostitute. This is Mia geing a fix of cocaine at a dealers place on the outskirts of Copenhagen. For the last six and a half years, Mia had been smoking heroin and taking pills, but her addiction worsened over the last couple of years, and instead of smoking heroin, she was now doing crack and shooting cocaine.
